This book discusses the technology of high-temperature bolting materials and the design considerations of high-temperature bolted joints. It is based on the second international conference on high-temperature creep resistant materials held in York.

Provides information from around the world on creep in multiple high-temperature metals, alloys, and advanced materials.

Proceedings from: EPRI’s 9th International Conference on Advances in Materials Technology for Fossil Power Plants and the 2nd International 123HiMAT Conference on High-Temperature Materials

Comprises 49 papers (including two student papers) from the July 1998 Conference. Topics include reactor pressure vessel integrity assessment; piping and elbow and materials, welding and other aspects; elevated temperature design methods; fracture mechanics analysis; and fatigue and fracture analysi

Contains papers from an August 1999 conference on fracture mechanics analysis, design and analysis of piping and components, fitness for service and life evaluation, and design analysis of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and components. Specific areas of investigation include prediction of creep
